Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the appointments of 471 Legal Advisors, Law Officers, and Law Instructors created under Government Resolutions dated 21.08.2006 and 15.09.2006, which were intended to be contractual. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling that these posts are permanent but clarified that the appointments made were not in accordance with constitutional provisions, thus denying claims for regularization. The Court ultimately dismissed the appeals, maintaining the status of the appointments as contractual and not permanent.
